Basic Boat Electrics - How does it Work? ⚓

Рет қаралды 3,422

Күн бұрын

The latest in our learn to sail series covers basic boat electrics. How it works, how it flows and what to use. This covers AWG wire gauge charts, how electricity works, switches, fuses and even bilge pumps. All in a simple, yet informative animated video. We take a look at basic electricity flow in a 12V system and cover resistance calculators and relevant apps.

Very straight-forward explanation, but resistance is NOT measured in feet; but Ohms - it is the level to which the passage of current through a conductor is hindered; the smaller the diameter (and greater the length of the overall circuit), the greater the resistance. The AWG chart, to which you refer, uses the resistance/foot to calculate the volt drop for any given gauge and length - useful.

Hi and thanks for contributing... Yes, I could have worded that differently. Thanks for the info, I will be sure to mention and correct this in the next installment.

@@searchingforcoconuts2248 bear in mind that the resistance of the wire is not the only resistance in the circuit - the fuses, a poor crimp connector and a busbar connection not tight will also add to the overall resistance, thus increasing the volt drop still further, so the resistance from the wire is only part of it. Remember that the volt-drop V (the voltage, in Volts) = I (the current, in Amps) x R (the TOTAL resistance, in Ohms).

there some bad jokes in that beginning lmao , one question though you never went in depth like for solar or battery sizes?

@@searchingforcoconuts2248 with Power (in Watts) equal to the product of Voltage (in Volts) and current (in Amps), working with higher voltages (i.e. solar panels or batteries in series) means for the same power, current is reduced, resulting in the ability to use lighter, cheaper, more flexible wire and connectors. Because the current has gone down, the volt-drop also reduces (though you need consider the best way of reducing the voltage for 12V devices!).
